### 3/5 — Cannot open local files

*2025-09-15*

I have purchased but cannot import files, or share files with the app. Please fix that :((

### 1/5 — アプデしてから

*2025-06-11*

使いづらくなりました。MUSICアプリで再生中の音をそのまま使えるように戻して欲しい。

### 1/5 — 使えないアプリになった

*2025-06-03*

ブックマークなどの機能がなくなって実質使えないアプリになった

### 1/5 — Latest update has ruined it

*2025-04-23, version 3.6.0*

It used to be good. I used it to play my files downloaded from iTunes because, for language learning tracks, it was vastly better than the stock music player, in particular its ability to rewind by 3 seconds at a time. The latest update prevented it playing DRM files, which anything bought from iTunes is. It has lost its only reason for existence, for me, and is now useless.
